BACKGROUND: The transradial approach is associated with fewer bleeding complications during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) but is more technically challenging and associated with prolonged times during intervention. The aim of this study is to retrospectively compare the results of radial vs. femoral approach in patients >or=80 years old undergoing primary or rescue PCI.METHODS: Betwee
Modern gas turbines always operate at a high level of inlet temperature. The current inlet temperature in the aircraft and heavy duty gas turbines is higher than the melting point of the guide vane material. Consequently, advanced cooling schemes must be developed to ensure the safe operation of gas turbines. In the current study, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the influence o
Introduction: The adequate use of compression in venous leg ulcer treatment is equally important to patients as well as clinicians. Currently, there is a lack of clarity on contraindications, risk factors, adverse events and complications, when applying compression therapy for venous leg ulcer patients. Methods: The project aimed to optimize prevention, treatment and maintenance approaches by reco
In order to obtain a higher thermal efficiency, the inlet temperature of gas turbines is gradually increased. However, this increases the thermal load on the first stage vane endwall surface. Therefore, an advanced cooling technique must be implemented for the endwall cooling to ensure that the gas turbine operates safely. In the current study, effects of swirling coolant flow from the upstream sl
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported following the O1/O2 runs have near-zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations for this. If the BH spin magnitudes are large, then: (i) either both BH spin vectors must be nearly in the orbital plane or (ii) the spin angular momenta of the BHs must be oppositely directed and similar in magnitude. Then there is
The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner’s home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms.

Background. Multiple studies have demonstrated that partitioning of molecular datasets is important in model-based phylogenetic analyses. Commonly, partitioning is done a priori based on some known properties of sequence evolution, e.g. differences in rate of evolution among codon positions of a protein-coding gene. Here we propose a new method for data partitioning based on relative evolutionary
BACKGROUND: Most evidence for TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) to date have come from small studies and case reports, and very little is known about TAND in adults. We explored baseline TAND data from the large-scale international TOSCA natural history study to compare childhood and adult patterns, describe age-based patterns, and explore genotype-TAND correlations.RESULTS: The stu
The lack of energy balance closure in Eddy-Covariance (EC) measurements is a well-known, still unresolved challenge in micrometeorology, with energy balance closure (EBC) rates typically ranging between 60% and 80%. While numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this imbalance, the relative contributions of neglected energy storage terms, data quality and flux processing options remain in
Det centrala för denna uppsats är att ur ett borgenärsinriktat perspektiv utreda två alternativ för rekonstruktion av företag; företagsrekonstruktion genom FrekL och rekonstruktion genom konkurs. FrekL är en tämligen ny lag i den svenska insolvensrätten. Tidigare rekonstruktioner av företag skedde så gott som alltid genom konkurs, även om AckL fanns som alternativ. FrekL var bland annat tänkt likThe main issue in this essay is from a creditors perspective. Analysis will cover two alternatives for the reorganization of companies: First, the Swedish correspondence, “FrekL,” to the American Chapter 11 and, second, reorganization through bankruptcy. FrekL is a fairly new law within the Swedish insolvency law. Earlier reorganization of companies were almost always made through bankruptcy, ev
English Summary This master thesis concerns the lives of spouses to someone who is incurably sick and dying. The study took place in the homes of married couples where one of them is incurably sick with cancer. I have visited the couples talked with them and interviewed them, some together and some separately. This has made the empirical foundation for the present thesis. It becomes clear that th
“I had a prison in my heart” – an analysis of a life story of a former criminal. The purpose of this study was to investigate stories featured in an autobiography written by a former criminal, based on theories of social psychology and interactionism. More specifically the aim was to study the reasoning and motives in the stories regarding the person’s relationships with significant others during
Diagnosis of first paroxysmal events at the children’s ER at a Swedish Regional hospital – including a one year follow up Background First epileptic seizures can be difficult to diagnose properly as there are many differential diagnoses including provoked seizures, febrile seizures, syncope, breath holding spells and psychogenic seizures. Many articles highlight the importance of a diligent medi
Straffrättslig symbollagstiftning är ett svårdefinierat begrepp. En utgångspunkt är emellertid att begreppet har en inneboende negativ laddning. Att sätta etiketten symbollagstiftning på en strafflag innebär också att kritik riktas mot strafflagen. Ett viss mått av försiktighet måste därför iakttas vid symbollagstiftningsanalysen. Symbollagstiftning är inte en matematisk formel, snarare en misstanSymbolic criminal legislation is hard to define. Despite that, it is obvious that the concept is inherently negative. To label a criminal act “symbolic”, is also a way of criticizing it. It is therefore important to be cautious while analyzing the concept. Symbolic legislation is not a mathematic formula, rather a suspicion of a phenomenon. Neither is symbolic legislation a question of “either-or”
Uppsatsen undersöker den rättsliga innebörden av begreppet ”direktupphandlingar av samma slag”. I det nationella regelverket, som inte omfattas av Europeiska unionens upphandlingsdirektiv, återfinns möjligheten för en upphandlande myndighet eller enhet att under fasta beloppsgränser direktupphandla utan föregående annonsering. I 15 kap. 3 a § lagen (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling (LOU) respekThis thesis examines the legal meaning of the concept “direct procurements of the same type”. There is an opportunity within the national legislation, which is not included in the European union procurement directives, for contracting authorities or entities to make a direct procurement (an informal procedure) under the national thresholds without prior publication of a contract notice. Chapter 15
Bevisföringen i svensk rätt förutsätter muntlighet, omedelbarhet och koncentration och har gjort det sedan den nya Rättegångsbalkens ikraftträdande på mitten av 1900-talet. Principerna har ansetts som förutsättningar för den fria bevisvärderingen och kan på många sätt förklaras som reaktioner på den tidigare gällande processordningen i Sverige. Brottmålsförfarandet delades med den nya RättegångsbaThe submission of evidence in Swedish law presupposes orality, momentum and concision and has done so since the new Code of Conduct entered into force in the mid-20th century. The principles have been considered as conditions for the free assessment of evidence and can in many ways be explained as reactions to the previous procedural system in Sweden. The criminal procedure was earlier divided int
Brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning straffbelägger mäns systematiska kränkningar av närstående kvinnor. Som skäl för införandet av brottet anfördes att mäns våld mot kvinnor har sin grund i strukturer i samhället som innebär att kvinnan anses vara underordnad mannen. Genom att införa brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning skulle systematiska kränkningar av en närstående kvinna bestraffas strängare, vilkeGross violation of a woman’s integrity is a crime which penalizes a series of criminal acts committed by a man against a woman whom he is, or has been, married to or with whom he is or has been cohabiting under circumstances comparable to marriage. The purpose of the introduction of this criminal act was to upgrade the penal value of such acts and to take into account the woman’s entire situation
Den som är yngre än 18 år stadgas vara omyndig enligt gällande rätt, men den som är 15 år gammal kan bli föremål för straffrättsliga påföljder om den begått ett brott. Enligt gällande rätt bör dock straffrättsliga påföljder dömas ut mycket restriktivt när lagöverträdare är mellan 15 och 17 år, eftersom vårdande åtgärder angetts erhålla företräde. Enligt barnkonventionen, vilken gäller som svensk lAccording to the Swedish Parental Code (1949:381), chapter 9, section 1, a person below the age of eighteen years is considered a minor. But according to the Swedish Penal Code (1962:700), chapter 1, section 6, a person above the age of fifteen may be subject to sanctions if he or she has committed a crime. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was incorporated as Swedish l
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker en direkt aktion mot brännvinsbrännerier som genomfördes i Karlshamn, november 1853. Den arbetande befolkningen i staden var vid denna tid mycket upprörda över det faktum att de lokala brännvinsbrännerierna fick fortsätta att köpa upp och bränna spannmål och potatis, trots den ständigt ökande bristen på livsmedel. Genom att tillämpa den brittiske historiken E.P. ThThis thesis aims to investigate a case of worker’s direct action against distilleries of hard liquor (brännvin) in the southern Swedish town of Karlshamn, November 1853. Many people were angry because the distilleries were allowed to keep on distilling grains and potatoes despite the constantly increasing shortage of basic foodstuffs. By applying English historian E.P. Thompson’s theory of “the mo
